If you a proffesional chef, I would hope you are fammilar with other methods of producing burgerz than McDonalds, even if they don't sell as well.
Haskell is a highly opinionated reasearch language. This makes it a great languages to talk about. People could make many of the same points with, say Scala or Ocaml, but because those languages arent as opinionated, it is harder to use them as a basis for discussion than a language which is heavily opinionated about the subject in question.

With all due respect, I wouldn't consider Golang any less opinionated than Haskell, just into a completely different direction. Whether or not that's a good thing: I don't know.
